"A copy by Rowlandson after the 1774 Bunbury print, 'The hopes of the family - an admission at the university', a satire on a socially aspirational family: a youth is being examined by a tutor for admission to Cambridge university; the tutor, in academic robes, is seated at a table pointing at a large volume resting beside a globe; the youth stands counting on his fingers while his eager father, wearing countryman's boots, urges him on; on the left a woman, probably the tutor's housekeeper, holds two further volumes, and on the right an elegant undergraduate stands smiling; on the wall behind are portraits of "Dr Allcock" and a woman, a Roman bust with turned down mouth on the lintel above the door, and a frame with the plan and elevation of a building."--British Museum online catalogue

The wide street, lit by a full moon, is filled by a wild fight between undergraduates and their supporters (for whom gowns had been obtained by looting a tailor's shop) and 'bargees, and the butchers, and labourers'. A stage-coach, Old Fly, crowded inside and out, is wedged in the crowd, the outside passengers are assailed by a man in a gown. A woman empties a pot from an upper window; a lantern, hats, &c., fly through the air."--British Museum catalogue
